Nights of September 15 to 21:

Off-Ramps and On-Ramps: From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night, there will be intermittent closures of all interchange off-ramps and on-ramps. Closure periods for each ramp will last from 2 to 4 hours. Once work near a specific ramp is completed, the ramp will be re-opened to motorists.
